Overview: Training camp provides clues about pass-rushers via one-on-one drills. Last summer, for example, it was clear that Dwight Freeney's spin move, which troubled King Dunlap and other blockers, was still dangerous and that rookie Tourek Williams would need to figure out a few things. Thomas Keiser's slipperiness and persistence, it turned out, foretold the 4.5 sacks to come.

The Chargers appear more capable at pass-rusher than they were last July, largely because Melvin Ingram is 15 months removed from a torn ACL and Corey Liuget has regained the strength he lost to a shoulder injury last August. Freeney is encouraged by his comeback from October surgery on a torn quad tendon, but acknowledged in June that he won't know until training camp whether he has the same explosiveness.

Tom Telesco invested two draft picks in rookie Jerry Attaochu, who is Georgia Tech's leader in career sacks. Little could be gleaned from the outside linebackers' spring performance in non-padded workouts, other than that he's quick, supple and energetic.

Grown man Cordarro Law, the sack leader on his Canadian League team last year, and Larry English are part of the group as well. The Chargers aren't counting on edge-setter Jarret Johnson to hit the quarterback, but his 3-sack total last year was his best in four years.
